Like the title topic says, what would be the estimated cost & also parts needed?


Thanks.

 

Let's see...for it to be reliable you'll need:

complete VTEC head
complete intake manifold
intake manifold gasket
headgasket
oil lines
dowel pins
head studs
GSR water pump
timing belt
balanced crank
higher compression pistons
wrist pins
pistons rings
main bearings
rod bearings
front main seal
rear main seal
exhaust manifold gasket

...and a partridge in a pair tree.

 

ok...and how much would the cost be? lol

 

500 bucks to bolt a vtec head on and ur good to go!

or u can spend 10g's to build it right

 

that estimate is based on used parts and without factoring labour?

It would be more helpful if you were a bit more specific .

 

By the time your spend the money and get the thing set up the first time, and then have to spend more, and spend more, and spend more to get it ironed out and have it be reliable, you could just get a b16a1 or a2. They are cheap, reliable and plentiful, I got my complete b16a1 shipped for $1500, with tranny and ecu, minus lsd. On top of that it doesnt take a rocket scientist to do the swap.

 

it doesnt cost much, most heads go for 300-600 bucks, complete...although ive seen some gsr heads go for 900 bucks!

 

about 900

 

mine was 1060 b16head that is

Man, this guy. Yes i used used parts but who wouldnt to save a buck or two. ITR parts are just as good as performance parts if they are in good condition. I did the labor myself I dont pay no one to do **** for me. How am i not specific. I really paid only 2500 for about 200WHP. shove it.</TD></TR></TABLE>

stop being a ****** douchebag...you just bitched on another post about how everyone is being so mean...your the kinda dick that makes this scene look bad

 

for the price and worry about reliability its worth the extra money to get a gsr motor or turbo the ls.

 

You're on crack. LS/VTEC is very reliable. The original post does not mention anything about turbo. Why does everyone think any post on this forum is open for them to give their own opinion instead of actual facts that the originator is requesting?

damn somebody likes to ***** out posts...cough*cheolwoongbae*cough....sux about the ticket bro...been there

 

I have 2 friends who have done an LS/VTEC coversion and I'll start by saying that they spent good money and did it with quality parts and didn't skimp. They're both running very smoothly right now but they had quite a few headaches getting there and looking back, they both claim it might have been cheaper/faster to swap for something else like a C5 or boosted C1 or H22 for equivalent/better gains. Just relaying ...

Parts list is long and listed above. As for cost, I know they've both spent more than 8000 (CDN) on this application.
